3. Get gluing

Apply hot glue to the tub in small sections right below the top lip. Glue each piece of poster board one by one. The glue dries quickly, so glue, then place the board, and so on. Use caution with the hot glue gun to prevent painful burns.

4. The frosting

Grab medium-sized clumps of the poly fill and roll into a more secure bunch. Apply glue to the top of the lip of the bin and place down. Continue all the way around the top, stacking the poly fill higher. Remember to keep a hole in the center to stand in.

5. Tulle time

Cut a large piece of tulle or use the entire yard and place it over the poly fill. Hot-glue the edges of the tulle on the outside of the lip of the tub, against the poster board and on the inside. This will keep the frosting from falling off and losing shape.

6. Sprinkles

Hot-glue the mini pom-poms to the tulle. This will create a sprinkle effect and add some color to the cupcake.

7. Straps

Tie two pieces of ribbon to the two handles so they're hidden by the tulle, or hot-glue the ribbon to the inside of the bin. Measure the ribbon prior to cutting to be sure the straps are long enough.

8. Make the candle headband

Grab an empty toilet paper roll and wrap it in a piece of colored felt. Hot-glue a piece of ribbon around the roll. Stick the paperweight inside the roll and hot-glue it into place. Put hot glue on the headband and secure your DIY candle!
